EL PAÍS News
Brazilians are going to the polls on Sunday for the presidential runoff, and we have been covering a variety of related issues, including the unexpected support by some Evangelicals for the leftist candidate, Lula. This week in international affairs we also interviewed former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt, a veteran politician who offered his views on the Ukraine war.
We also took a look at what's being touted as the contact lenses of the future, and made a list of horror movies to enjoy in the comfort of one's own home for Halloween.

Following the not entirely unexpected resignation of UK Prime Minister Liz Truss this week, we analyzed the possibility of a Boris Johson comeback. EL PAÍS also interviewed the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, who has met with the presidents of Ukraine and Russia to convince both of the need to establish a security zone around the nuclear plant in Zaporizhzhia.
One of our most-read stories this week involved new revelations about a world-famous fresco made by the Ancient Greeks in the Tomb of the Diver, located in modern-day Italy. Another popular article was an interview with the neuroscientist Mariano Sigman about the importance of conversation for mental health.

EL PAÍS in English
This week, political news in the US was dominated by the scandal of the leaked audio revealing racist remarks by leading Latino members of the Los Angeles City Council. Elsewhere, we covered the latest developments in Ukraine and visited one of Jair Bolsonaro's strongholds in the south of Brazil.
One of our most read stories this week was about the comeback of 1980s teen movie star Molly Ringwald, and in science news we examined how climate delayism has taken over from outright denialism. And two experts from New York University explained how the weather is just one factor that leads to deaths during heat waves.

Lucy's 5 best tips for learnining new vocabulary
1. Make it part of your lifestyle! Try to think in English when you have peaceful moments in your everyday life. This could be when you are travelling to work, or taking a break.
2. Fill in the gaps! When you notice that you don't know a word, write it down immediately in your vocab diary, and then research it and the end of the day. This is all about lifestyle! It needs to be something you aim to do every day! I created The English Plan for this exact purpose - this method helped me to become fluent in my second language.
3. Read children's books in English! This was something I loved to do! Children's books are designed to teach children to read and write - and this will work for you too! Go to your local library or charity shop, or order some used children's books online. This doesn't have to be an expensive process. Perhaps you can share them with another learner of English when you're done?
4. Watch English TV shows! - This one may seem obvious, but it's really important to pick the right show according to your level. For beginners, I always recommend Peppa Pig - in each episode there is so much great vocab for everyday life! I actually made a video with my recommendations for TV shows for each level of English. Watch it here.
5. Listen to chatty podcasts! Try to see in advance if the podcast also has a transcript. These podcasts will prepare you to join in more conversations, and will probably include more slang and informal vocabulary. Have a look at the UK top podcast charts.
